12:01 am
you're watching r.t. and our weekly news review welcome to the program well this week saw nato officially announce the end of its aerial campaign in libya starting from next month the country's interim leadership will take control of all security responsibilities and also tasked with rebuilding the first preventing dolphin era but if you stockpiles falling into the wrong hands a nation flooded with weapons. the war is over but the weapons are fully loaded. human rights watch has expressed grave concern about leftover arms in libya their number one fear warehouses thought to hold ground to air missiles which could in the wrong hands take down passenger aircraft it's through made so our nato allies
12:02 am
in the region which these weapons have been flooding libya and also libya is quite world country anyway the population has has quite a lot of light weapons in his possession and those like my parents are becoming a heavy burden on the national transitional council now relying on an army of former rebels for security we try to control the bends and we check if there is somebody who has worked and we ask him if he has a persecution or this we are not. checkpoints have been set up across tripoli to check that those carrying weapons have proper documentation and those who do have the paperwork are being called on by the national transition committee to return their arms the question now is what if they don't and what does that mean for parts gadhafi of libya and its stability and now as you can see is the security here everything's under control and the only one would think that we were make some we can is
12:03 am
a house to give weapons but we see something very different i asked this head commander what the plan is to disarm the population and i swear i don't know if you. you know the visuals. of the scene when the. right and a makeshift arms collection center that covers one neighborhood in the capital we are showing this. these are the weapons people brought to me today not many. not down one block in tripoli and you'll see twice as many firearms. do you know how many weapons there are in libya i can dislike have to have incident of yeah i think a very very have. some think the flood of arms in the country could spell disaster ahead in the vacuum after gadhafi impulse through chaos as groups fight out vicious
12:04 am
battles from power. what you have now in libya is schools of armed factions who have no respect for each other and who have no respect for may through actually i believe opportunistically used made so to achieve some aims and nato has been foolish enough to go along with this so i think what we're going to see now is the intensification of the civil war between increasingly the factions which have overthrown the gadhafi regime with many libyans not yet ready to say a farewell to arms the empty sea which could only be daffy with nato help is now asking the alliance to continue its mission a vivid indication of just how unstable the country is and he said now a r t tripoli. now that nato is a graphic up in libya the organizations that chief are describe the operation as one of the most successful in the united states history of one eyewitness to the
12:05 am
nato bombing in the here earlier seen says it brought death and vision to his country. they used every possible thing to do to make this so-called revolution successful. gunships. helicopters use fighter is. this was so the this was going. to be successful. so many people through to succeed in this operation would find i don't think this is the first because if it was a success brilliant he would have been so happy about. that very much there's a big divide in libya there's a huge gap. between libyans. i mean parts of partly because of my. own partly because of let's be
12:06 am
honest and say partially because of. what but the way they get the way they treated him the way they bombed my city. which i have a lot of civilians inside it who were killed as well i mean this is just. generates anger and generates revenge. which which is in the future would be the fuel of another war in libya which i think it will be sooner or later. where it's thought colonel gadhafi is most influential son saif al islam. apparently the. international criminal court he's reportedly a spokes person to make contact with him to deny charges of crimes against humanity some experts i think of a son on trial is the last thing some by certainly this want to see what he's going to expects. to some market that he was
12:07 am
a man too much. secrets which will supposedly he buried within i think that there were tremendous sighs of relief all over a capital so in western europe this is somebody who cut all sorts of deals with the french but also the british and the italians and to a certain extent the americans as well i think they did not want him put on trial for any research and i am not that surprised that he was captured alive if you very quickly ended up there could have easily turn from diplomatic exile was spectacular hugs handshakes and kisses from the heads of countries which denounced him a bath is now silenced but the suspicion around those who laid out the welcome mat is far from buried i don't feel small to his gritty you see. but the.

of the islamic jihad organization that is what holds a sponsible for a grad missile that was fired into israel earlier in the week the concern here in boat people is that this story of social demonstrations will not be missed by many in the international community as a focuses on what is happening externally and certainly the mainstream international media is making a lot of what is going on on gaza to the detriment of what is happening here and with me to talk about this is nicholas simmons who is one of the our social protest has declined why are you back on the streets after a two month. knesset the parliament is returning from his recess we just hope that they'll reconsider their budgetary considerations the problem has been that the budget considerations have been about parties and politics there's been a valid raising of the tide to control everything we want the budgetary considerations to consider just the general good of the country here in israel it's very very important to realize we are not in economic recession

international political agreements yet they seem to be ability to shut down a website that some governments find troubling. it's very unclear exactly what the motivations what the power behind them and it is it's a bit steeply unsettling because there were other very beginning of the situation questions about the tension members of the u.s. government had suggested or asked companies like amazon which was the first to take action against wiki leaks because they were hosting the stories and what they may have been asked by individuals within the u.s. government so. i was one of the issues is there are really any rules regarding what companies can can or cannot do with their customers companies are generally entitled to reject customers if unfortunately wiki leaks was forced down that we would see other sides seeking to do the same kind of thing and getting around the restrictions of wiki leaks rights. central asian country of kurdistan it's electing its first president since the bloody uprisings proper form of the kremlin back here
